Attorney

As of May 2026

Obtain homelessness services funding amendment

Context: City Council adopted the fifth amendment on May 6, 2026, adding $325,000 in Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant funds and extending services through April 30, 2027.

Recommended: Request the executed fifth amendment and its grant compliance attachments to identify the Salvation Army’s deliverables, reporting requirements, and payment controls through April 30, 2027. Without the signed terms, the newly approved $325,000 service extension cannot be evaluated for enforceable obligations.

As of May 2026

Investigate Salvation Army homelessness funding delay

Context: Item 10 was tagged by Council Member Thomas on April 29, 2026, then returned as held Item 41 and was adopted on May 6, 2026 with a recorded 0-0 vote.

Recommended: Request Council Member Thomas’s tagging rationale, any staff response, and the held-item materials for the Salvation Army funding amendment. The record shows the matter appeared twice—tagged April 29 and adopted May 6—but does not explain what prompted the delay or whether the $325,000 scope changed.
